Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waltham Forest

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why it’s worth resealing in Waltham Forest

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Waltham Forest

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Waltham Forest. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Waltham Forest get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from Waltham Forest

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Waltham Forest?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
